The story in the game is generally considered fun and well-executed, contributing positively to the overall experience. However, players have expressed frustration with gameplay issues, such as inconsistent character behavior and save game problems, which detract from the enjoyment of the narrative. Despite these challenges, the game offers engaging missions that can be completed in short sessions, making it appealing for casual play.
“The graphics, sound, and story are all fun and well-done.”
“Completing a full run of a million monster militia mission only takes half an hour or so, so this makes a great 'coffee-break' game, and the developer is adding more challenges and starting squads to keep it fresh.”
“The game consistently 'soft locks' during missions, the character logic and behavior is inconsistent which severely impacts gameplay, but after 36 hours of putting up with this, the final straw is the game has just overwritten my save game, reset all progress and I have to start over...”
